I don't really need to remove the radio, but I do need to get to the AUX input on the back so I can use it for an XM Radio. How do I get to it? It doesn't look like the screws are accessible.

First you have to remove the shift boot and access the screws that hold
down the center of the center counsel (make sense?). Remove those and
lift the plastic that surrounds the shifter away. The screws that you
need to access are located up and behind the cup holders. From there I
believe it just slides out with some force. I have a standard trans, so
your might be different.
The shift boot was the hardest part. There is a hidden screw that I
just couldn't see and ended up breaking it out of its hole. No visible
damage, just a lot easier to remove now.

I just happen to do it a few months ago.

Thanks! From what I can tell, I'll be able to get my hand up there to plug into the AUX once I get that stuff off.
